Some of the posts below relate specifically to the experience of people of African heritage - Africa and the African Diaspora. Others also involve the experience of the wider community.

Because of our historical experience of slavery and colonisation, as well as our ongoing experience of racism, violence affects the Black community in specific ways. For more of this, go here for my ebook Why We Need to Heal.

I have to confess that, despite the fact that the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence is my baby, I do have favourites. Here are a few. Many thanks to all of the bloggers who have participated in the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence.

These are some of my own posts focusing on violence, nonviolence and the prevention of violence. These were not specifically included in the Blogging Carnival, but they are clearly relevant. I shall be adding more, so please come back here. Please also share this link with your networks, and please leave your comments on the individual blog posts. Thanks.
